Diary entry written after swearing-in as Special Assistant to the President

Dec [December] 1, ’61 [1961]
Today I was sworn in as Spec [Special]
Asst [Assistant] to the Pres [President]. (“I can’t win” – in [the Department of] State I
was the Asst [Assistant] S [Secretary] of S [State] – here I am S.A.P. [Special Assistant to the President])
Marion had taken a pleasant shot
at me in Chicago (when I was fumbling for
my res. [reservation] card in mgr’s [managers] presence and finally
said – “well its [sic] in the bag out front”)
“That’s [sic] the reason he is only the ASS’t [Assistant] Sec [Secretary] of State
(thus to the anagram)
Today she made up for it. After I was
sworn in she said to JFK Mr. Pres [President] I hope you
enjoy him here at the WH [White House] as much as we do at home
